A little anecdote from South Africa that agrees with this.
One of my sister-in-laws is a doctor working at a government hospital in South Africa. She and my brother both have Omicron right now. They caught covid in the first wave. Subsequently vaccinated with pfizer (brother), and Johnson (his wife). She had mild symptoms the first time around (Doctor's immune system); he was bed-ridden for days and even fainted at one point.
This time around she has zero symptoms, and he's got almost none.

- raziel2701 5y agoI don't know why you're coming at that poster so strong. They said it's anecdotal evidence, they're just throwing it out there, they're not saying it PROVES anything.
- GameOfFrowns 5y agoThen let me throw my own anecdote out there. I got covid in the second wave before the vaccines were available, recovered quickly within 3 days without any medication or hospitalisation. I mysteriously developed long-covid symptoms and heart palpitations only AFTER receiving the Pfizer vaccine. I received my two doses of Pfizer but I decided won't get any of the booster shots and take my chances until the Miniluv goons come to kick down my door. Which anecdote is more valid? Only one will get flagged though.
- sjg007 5y agoDid they have the Beta variant? One hypothesis is that Beta confers more immunity to Omicron than the original variant.
- ycombinete 5y agoI'm not sure. It was very early on in the first wave.
